Question of the Week
7 February 2010
Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time "I will give
thanks to you, O Lord, with all my heart,
for you have heard the
words of my mouth."
- Psalm 138:1
Daily Readings
Sunday Scripture Readings and Gospel:
Luke
5:1-11
Reflection: In today's
Gospel, Peter, having confessed that he was a sinner, heard Jesus
respond: "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be a fisher of
men." Peter was offered a window of opportunity that came to
him when he would have least expected it, after a night of failure.
Peter responded to the challenge by taking a chance and giving God
what he did have, namely hope and trust, and suddenly defeat was
transformed into victory. How then do we respond to failure?
Do we see it as a challenge and then at a deeper level see that
every challenge is but an opportunity? We are not responsible
for everything that happens in our lives, but we are responsible for
our responses. No one else is, only we are. Such then is
the challenge of faith, for faith is not simply our adherence to a
creed or a set of doctrines. Faith is how we act in life.
Reflective
Question: How can I
strengthen the faith of others with the gifts that I have?
Faith
Response: I will use my gifts
no matter how simple, to draw others closer to God.
